What changes in Claude's response

Claude reads the entire piece, figures out what's actually surprising or counter-intuitive about it, and writes ONE new opening line that sets that up. It does NOT touch the rest. Most 'better intro' prompts produce a new fluffy paragraph; /hook produces a single sentence that makes you want to read sentence two.

When NOT to use /hook

Don't use /hook on technical references, API docs, or anything where the reader is already committed. The 'hook' there is the section heading, not a clever opener.
